Description:
    Star counts technique is used towards southern dark globular filaments
    situated in the cloud complexes of Corona Australis and Lupus. Tables
    and maps of the distribution of visual extinction are presented for
    each filament. Lower limit masses for the filaments and condensations
    have been estimated and the central coordinates of the condensations
    are also given. R CrA is the most active star forming region among the
    filaments studied in this work whereas Lupus 1, with almost the same
    lower limit of mass, has only a few T Tauri stars and just one young
    embedded object. The distribution of direction of the magnetic field
    in the condensations of Lupus, suggests that the condensation
    morphologies does not have any apparent relation with the magnetic
    field orientation.
